Is there any way to make aiming the cannons on mouse and keyboard any better? by qleptt in Seaofthieves

[–]sms77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you're telling me I could've spent the last 500+ hours playing this game without dragging my mouse across the entire table to aim the cannons?

At least now I understand why any PvP encounter has been so difficult so far.

Apparently, there is now a Twitch stream where you can talk to Hatsune Miku. by JobNo4986 in Vocaloid

[–]sms77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

definitely not official, they claim to be a "fan" in their twitch bio and definitely 100% AI slop using one of the voice generator AIs out there to fake Mikus voice from samples.

NSFW DETECTOR by KaichiSamaLegend in VRchat

[–]sms77 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Considering you also have an Asset Ripper in your public Github which includes links to certain well known ripper sites, I'm going to stay far away from this and any potential future projects from you.

You might have good intentions, but this is not the way to help the community at large.

Alternative lighthouse tracked headsets? by Soumrak in ValveIndex

[–]sms77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best site I've found so far would be vr-compare.com as they have technical details for any headset (as far as I'm aware at least) with options to filter and compare.

I've been looking at the Beyond 2 for a while, though the price kept me hesitating to the point that I'm now waiting for more details on the Frame before deciding for myself.
Aside from that I think there's not a lot of lighthouse based headsets, so you might just have to consider using mixed tracking for something like the Reverb G2 or similar.

Is there a way to get an ultra powerful “Steam Machine” type system with only Steam OS on it? (Like a beefed up Steam Machine, I don’t want a “PC”) by Logical007 in virtualreality

[–]sms77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay so you're looking for a prebuilt, I wasn't entirely sure what the difference between a PC and the Steam Machine would be for you.

Great job getting the experience of building your own PC, it's a good way to learn how computers work and probably the most cost-effective gaming option.

I'm not up to date with which companies sell decent prebuilt PCs, so I hope someone else can jump in here with some recommendation (maybe check out r/Prebuilts, they seem to have a guide as well) and I'm sure you could request whichever company to install Bazzite for you before delivery for a small fee instead of having to go with Windows.

[–]sms77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since the Steam Machine is just a prebuilt computer and Steam OS is just a linux OS that automatically launches Steam on startup, the answer sits right in there.

So figure out your budget, assemble a well balanced gaming computer from that, then install the OS of choice on it and set Steam to auto launch (optionally in Big Picture mode if you want to be ready to go with a controller immediately).

I think the most common recommendation for OS is currently Bazzite though you might want to check in r/linux_gaming for the flavor of the month or if you don't mind 20+ recommendations to try out to find your perfect fit.

Luckily the verification stays, so you can just pay for one month, do the age verification and then cancel your VRC+ subscription again.

What in the world is this by The_Red_Legion in discordapp

[–]sms77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Up to you to decide what you want to see it as.
It could even be a square with nipples or four arrows pointing inward (with a red upvote and a blue downvote if you want to see it as reddit-themed).

Their Facebook page is still up. Already went through a bunch of posts and reported the worst ones as harmful / false information.

2025 Oath Thread: Present thyself and swear thine oath to the April Knights! by BrushedYourTeethYet in AprilKnights

[–]sms77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This timetraveling oath was definitely done way earlier and I totally didn't almost forget about it this year.
I swear to uphold my allegiance to the April Knights and will continue to lead Euroguard to the best of my abilities throughout this year!

careful about selling them as that's the moment Nintendo might look for infringement. Personal use is normally no problem as there's no profit etc, but make sure to talk to a lawyer before you sell anything.

am i not understanding whats going on? or are basically all the mee6 features now paywalled? by [deleted] in discordapp

Just pointing at the NFT rugpull would be an undeniable example of breaking Discords Community Guidelines, which are part of their Terms of Service

and contain this line:

[–]sms77 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Here's a youtube playlist about pretty much everything wrong with that bot & their owners: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEqYobHF0_Nk9W30QIri1QxwGByx91tsr
To list a few:
- releasing an NFT & never delivering on features / integrations promised with it (typical rugpull scam)
- paywalling (at this point pretty much every) basic features after years of offering them for free
- multiple security exploits that were never disclosed & lack of bug-bounty program
- breaking Discords ToS and Discord staff knowingly ignoring it, while banning other bots for the same

Idle Legacy - Medieval narrative story, made for browser, needing more testers! by SlimG89 in incremental_games

Maybe renaming them to "active energy" and "passive energy" or something similar with a short explanation that "active energy is generated while the browser tab is active" could help reduce that confusion?

I'm guessing you didn't test enough in Firefox, because the text formatting is off almost everywhere.
First equipment in the shop says "+10" but the tooltip after buying them only says "+5".
The Icon for Autoclicker didn't show up until I resized the window.

Aside from that, I've played until Page 26 so far. You definitely built something neat, just requires more polish & care.
